The temperatures depend a bit on the rain, wind and of course where you are in the Gold Coast. Near the ocean and lower down is often warmer, and if there is a southerly blowing then being in a sheltered spot like Rainbow Beach at Coolangatta can make a huge difference.

Usually, you are looking at temperatures between about 10°C to low 20°s - and since you are looking at being here towards the end of the month that could be moving up a little higher. It can be windy in August and usually there isn't too much rain, but to give an example there was a huge downpore just last week in the Gold Coast, but a day or so later the temperatures were in the mid 20°Cs.

I am sorry to be vague, I just find it really hard to say what the weather will be like these days as it is so much more unpredictable. I hope these rough guidelines have given you some idea - I think you are likely to find it warmer than NZ!

Please let me know if you have any more specific questions and have a great August trip to the Gold Coast!

Let me know how you go and maybe you might like to share some of your Gold Coast holiday experiences with us all.
